Trump Administration Sends IP Enforcement Coordinator Nomination to Senate

The White House said Tuesday it sent President Donald Trump's nomination of House Judiciary Committee Senior Majority Counsel Vishal Amin as the White House’s intellectual property enforcement coordinator to the Senate. Stakeholders have seen Amin's nomination as an opportunity for the Trump administration to shape IP rights enforcement policy, but it’s unclear whether there will be a fundamental shift (see 1704100067). The Senate Judiciary Committee will handle Amin's confirmation hearing.
